A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

Thunderstorms raged through the night, accompanied by strong winds.

The people inside the house remained awake until midnight.

The Second Prince's Mansion.

Gu Yanche held the wine jar and drank sip after sip, with his beautiful concubine by his side.

No one knew the bitterness in his heart; it was all because he couldn't sit in the position of a prince.

Now that his mother is dead, he's been confined to his quarters. What a cruel heart he has.

Since he didn't have a son like him, he wouldn't show any mercy.

"Your Highness, alcohol is bad for your health. Shall I serve you to bed?"

The two beautiful concubines spoke softly, coaxing Gu Yanche.

"Excellent! With a beautiful concubine in my arms, it's just in time..."

............

The morning sunlight shines down on every corner of the earth.

The scent of soil wafted by in the gentle breeze as Bai Luoluo, dressed in an elegant dress, sat on the swing.

"When will we leave?"

At this moment, Jiao Wushang's voice came.

Bai Luoluo was not surprised that he came and went without a trace.

"I'm getting ready, but I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Gu Yanchi entered the palace early in the morning, intending to ask the Emperor for his resignation.

"What's the matter?"

"I wonder if there is any way to protect the Emperor?"

When they return, the emperor will be dead. At that time, although the rebels can be annihilated, countless lives will be lost.

Bai Luoluo felt compassion and didn't want to climb to a high position by stepping on rivers of blood.

Jiao Wushang knew some things, including that the Emperor had been poisoned.

“I can place a seal on him, which will prevent external forces from harming him, but it cannot isolate the poison. However, it can preserve his breath.”

"That's fine. I will leave the antidote for the Emperor. If he is really accidentally poisoned, it is his fate."

"Okay, get on it quickly, it's time to go."

He was getting anxious because he had already wasted too much time. The spiritual energy here was too thin to cultivate, and his friends were waiting for him in another world.

"Alright, we'll set off tomorrow."

Bai Luoluo didn't want to wait any longer; it was time to fulfill this promise.

"Get ready, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

After Jiao Wushang finished speaking, his figure vanished instantly.

"That movement technique is truly amazing. I wish she could do that."

Bai Luoluo was filled with envy. After saying this, she turned around and went to find Xiao Tao.

At this moment, Xiao Tao was tidying up the main courtyard.

Seeing Bai Luoluo approaching, she quickly ran over.

"Miss, is there anything you need to tell me?"

"I'll be away for a few days. Take good care of yourself at the Crown Prince's residence. If you need anything, just ask Leng Ye for help."

Bai Luoluo looked at her and gave her instructions on what to do after she left.

Right now, what I'm worried about is this girl.

I used to think that the Crown Prince's residence was not a long-term place, and I was thinking of finding Bai Hao to adopt a daughter. Now I don't need to do that anymore.

When she returns, we'll prepare for her wedding.

"Don't worry, Miss, I will take good care of myself."

Xiao Tao knew she didn't know martial arts, and forcing herself to go out would only be a burden.

"Yes, don't suffer in silence when things happen. Leng Ye will take good care of you. I'll arrange your wedding when I get back. Spend these days getting along well."

"Miss........"

Xiao Tao's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her eyes shyly.

"Alright, marriage is a big deal. Think it over carefully and tell me your answer when you come back."

Now that Bai Luoluo has been through it all, she knows that women need to be careful when getting married, and that they need to understand some things and investigate some people thoroughly.

That's how it was with her and Gu Yanchi. They almost misunderstood each other last time because of some things. If they had known beforehand, things wouldn't have turned out this way. This also shows that the two of them didn't fully understand each other. Fortunately, they didn't encounter a heartless man, otherwise it would only mean that they had bad judgment.

"Thank you, miss."

Xiao Tao was truly grateful; she understood what Bai Luoluo meant.

Gu Yanchi went to the palace to resign. The emperor was unwilling, but he still agreed to let him go to Canglang Kingdom.

Ultimately, under the pretext of a sacrificial ceremony, Gu Yanchi and Bai Luoluo decided to go to the Imperial Preceptor's place for a month of quiet meditation.

Bai Luoluo wrote a letter detailing her upcoming trip, along with some good medicine and antidotes, along with instructions on how to use them. She sent the letter to Bai Hao.

She didn't want to go to the palace again, so Bai Hao could do it for her.

With her and Gu Yanchi gone, Bai Hao was the only one in the capital who truly cared for the Emperor, making these medicines most suitable for him.

With everything prepared, Bai Luoluo awaited Gu Yanchi's return.

The border, the residence of the General of Fuyuan.

"News has come from the capital that the lady has found the young lady, but the young lady has already died in a beggar's den. Moreover, the lady went to the Crown Prince's residence to plead her case and has been flogged and is on her way back."

A shadow guard dressed in black and wearing a mask reported this.

General Fuyuan, dressed in black, was tall and strong with dark skin, bright eyes, and a resolute face. He looked to be in his forties.

As he listened to the shadow guard's words, his eyes were filled with sorrow.

To think that he, a dignified general, would have such a shameless daughter, who actually drugged the crown prince and was thrown into a beggar's den, where she now dies a miserable death on the street.

"General, please accept my condolences. I have been having a poor appetite lately, and after consulting a doctor, I have been diagnosed with a pregnancy of over a month."

At this moment, a beautiful woman walked in. She was a concubine whom General Fuyuan had recently brought into the mansion. Her name was Han Yujiao, and she was currently favored by the emperor.

The woman's eyes gleamed with shrewdness, and her features were stunningly beautiful. She held a tray with a plate of pastries on it.

"Jiao'er, are you telling the truth?"

General Fuyuan looked on incredulously.

He had many wives and concubines, and had tried his best over the years, but none of them had gotten pregnant.

"If the general doesn't believe me, he can call the doctor."

Han Yujiao looked aggrieved.

Upon hearing this, General Fuyuan quickly stepped forward and helped her sit down.

"It's not that I don't believe what my daughter says, it's just that no woman in the manor has ever become pregnant in all these years."

"When I first entered the manor, Madam sent me tonics every day."

Unexpectedly, when I gave it to my elder sister, it caused her to miscarry shortly after becoming pregnant.

Only after a doctor's diagnosis did they discover that these supplements contained substances that prevented pregnancy; long-term use would result in lifelong infertility.

"I have just entered the manor, and being of lowly status, I dare not utter a sound. Since then, I have not accepted any of the gifts sent by Madam. Now, I am pregnant and must speak out. If Madam were to find out, I fear this child would not survive. I beg the General to save this unborn child."

Han Yujiao spoke with tears in her eyes and her voice choked with sobs, which was heartbreaking to hear.

At this moment, General Fuyuan's face was dark, and his eyes were filled with anger.

So that's how it is. No wonder he had so few children, only one daughter.

He thought it was because he had killed too many people that he was unable to have children, but it turned out that he was being schemed against by his wife.

What a vicious thought! They actually wanted to cut off his family line.

"My dear child, do not be afraid. This general will protect our child." General Fuyuan turned around and ordered, "Find a few doctors to examine the pulses of all the concubines in the mansion."
